I'm guessing you want to know what happened to us after the war ended. I couldn't just leave all of you wondering what happened to me and everyone else. I mean, our lives and stories didn't end with the war and why should they?

I just couldn't believe it. It had already been a year since the twins had been born and they had grown so much! They were walking, could understand what we were saying, and could say little words like "mama" and "dada".

The palace's officials had been planning this day for longer than I had even been alive. And here I was, locking in a room in the depths of the castle, suddenly wondering if I was going to be able to do this.
